DAM BREAK STUSIES

BASICS IN DAMBREAK ANALYSIS

 INTRODUCTION
 RAINFALL DATA AND QUANTITATATIVE PRECIPITATION FORCASTS QPF
 RAINFALL-RUNOFF RELATIONSHIPS
 INFLOW DYNAMICS
 TYPES OF FAILURES
o GEO TECH (PIPING)
 TYPES OF DAMS
 EARTH DAM
 ROCKFILL
o HYDROLOGIC (OVERTOPPING)
o MPF
o RETURN PERIODS
 HYDROGRAPHS
 RESERVOIR POOL ROUTING
 STREAMFLOW ROUTING
WHY DO WE DO DAM BREAK ANALYSIS
 HAZARD POTENTIAL
 DELINAETION OF FLOODPLAINS, FLOOD INSURANCES ETC.
 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLANNING

METHODOLOGY FOR DAM BREAK STUDIES

 HYDRUALIC DATA
o CHANNEL GEOMETRY(SURVEY)
o CROSS SECTIONS
o BED PROFILES
o TOPO DATA OF THE ENTIRE VALLEY DOWNSTREAM
o MANNINGS ROUGHNESS ALONG THE CHANNEL/ FLOOD PLAIN
 HYDROLOGIC DATA
o INFLOW DYNAMICS
DELIVERABLES
 INNUNDATION MAPS
POPULAR MODELS IN USE
 HEC 1, 2 & 5
